Chapter 95: Chapter 78: Roaring Fury at Grand Volcano
In the outskirts of Aurestear Kingdom's royal capital, a male adventurer with red hair proudly showcased his new Red Floating High-Speed Bike to his female companion. He had spared no expense to have this bike custom-made, and he eagerly explained its advanced features to her. "You won't believe it, this baby is equipped with the latest technology and boasts a powerful three-layer energy shield. It can reach a top speed of 280 km/hour," he said with excitement.
Teasingly, the female adventurer with brown hair remarked, "You used to say you preferred mythical beasts over this mechanical wonder." Her playful comment made the male adventurer with red hair blush slightly, and he sheepishly replied, "I still love mythical beasts, but our adventurer work has become more dangerous lately. Many veteran requests now require the use of a Floating High-Speed Bike due to its proficiency."
The female adventurer with brown hair nodded with a warm smile, understanding his reasoning and feeling pleased that he prioritized their work proficiency over personal feelings. They had grown from their younger days and were now seasoned adventurers, so she appreciated his dedication to their profession. Playfully, she hit his arm and changed the topic. "Ufufu, well, where are we headed for our next job?" she asked with curiosity.
With a serious tone, the male adventurer with red hair replied, "We're going to the grand volcano to gather magic materials that are in short supply." The grand volcano, situated at the center of the continent, was renowned for its abundant magic resources and hidden ancient ruins, making it the best place for gathering the much-needed magic materials.
However, the female adventurer with brown hair expressed her concern, crossing her arms. "Working in the grand volcano at this time is very risky, especially with the uncertainty of the 10th colossal biomachine monster's appearance." The reason why the magic materials from the grand volcano were in short supply was because the miners had already evacuated, and the normal adventurers were unwilling to take on such a dangerous request.
The male adventurer with red hair's decision to accept this request despite the danger was motivated by his desire to help Princess Christina. "You're right. Princess Christina can only predict the general location of the 10th colossal biomachine monster, but that's precisely why I accepted this request. I want to lighten the burden for Princess Christina, even if it's just a little," he explained. He knew that even though the early evacuation of the miners was necessary for their safety, it still burdened the country to provide living compensation. By providing stable magic materials from the grand volcano, he hoped to help alleviate that burden for both the country and Princess Christina.
Understanding the implications, the female adventurer with brown hair playfully teased him, "Even though you already have my body, are you still thinking about Her Highness?" The male adventurer with red hair's face flushed slightly, and he stammered, "No, that... I... I just want to help Princess Christina as one of the citizens of Aurestear Kingdom." He attempted to clarify, but she couldn't resist bursting into laughter, hugging his arm tightly. "Ufufu, I understand. I'm just teasing you," she said affectionately, holding him close.
With a slight sense of relief, the male adventurer with red hair suggested, "If you're okay with it, let's get going." He hopped onto the Red Floating High-Speed Bike, and she joined him from the back seat, wrapping her arms around his waist securely. Together, they sped off towards the grand volcano, their trust and camaraderie evident in their synchronized movements.
In just an hour and a half, they reached their destination – the grand volcano. As they approached, the majestic sight of the towering volcano greeted them. Its massive form dominated the landscape, rising proudly towards the sky, its peak adorned with wisps of smoke and faint hints of glowing lava.
Normally, the grand volcano would be bustling with adventurers, miners, and magic craftsmen, all seeking the abundant magic resources and ancient artifacts hidden within its depths. However, today, the scene was vastly different. The once vibrant and lively area had turned into a place of caution and guarded vigilance.
The local guard soldiers of Aurestear Kingdom had established a watchful presence, stationed strategically around the volcano's base. Their Celestial Armor glistened in the sunlight, a stark contrast against the dark, rugged terrain. They were on high alert, their eyes scanning the surroundings for any signs of danger.
Despite the emptiness and somber atmosphere, the beauty of the grand volcano's rugged landscape remained awe-inspiring. Jagged cliffs and rocky outcrops surrounded the base, creating an almost otherworldly scene. Ancient runes and engravings adorned the volcanic rocks, whispering tales of forgotten civilizations and ancient knowledge.
As the two adventurers surveyed the area, the rumble of the Red Floating High-Speed Bike's engine echoed in the solemn stillness. The faint scent of sulfur and volcanic ash lingered in the air, a constant reminder of the ever-present fiery heart beneath their feet. Despite the grand volcano's typical vibrancy being subdued, there was an undeniable sense of determination among those present.
With each cautious step they took towards the volcano's entrance, the weight of the task ahead pressed upon the adventurers' shoulders. They knew that their journey into the depths of the grand volcano would be challenging, but their commitment to aid Princess Christina and their determination to secure the much-needed magic materials for their beloved country propelled them forward.
As the male adventurer with red hair and the female adventurer with brown hair delved deeper into the heart of the grand volcano, their mission to gather magic materials took an unexpected turn. The ground quaked beneath their feet, and a deafening roar echoed through the cavernous space. In an instant, the grand volcano erupted, unleashing a torrent of fiery lava that cascaded down its slopes.
Determination mingled in their eyes as they exchanged understanding glances, leaping into action. Without hesitation, they jumped onto their Red Floating High-Speed Bike, seeking to escape the wrath of the erupting volcano. However, amidst the chaos, an ominous figure emerged from the molten lava at the volcano's peak—the 10th colossal biomachine monster.
This gargantuan creature, measuring a staggering 200 meters in length, bore the resemblance of a legendary dragon, striking fear into the hearts of anyone who laid eyes on it. Accompanying the 10th colossal biomachine monster were numerous 20-meter-long biomachine creatures, resembling child dragons, rising from the lava with an unending horde. The molten lava seemed to birth an army of these menacing beings, their numbers appearing infinite.
Though brave and skilled, the two adventurers knew that scouting on such overwhelming odds would be foolish. "We need to get out of here, now!" shouted the male adventurer with red hair, his voice barely audible above the deafening roar of the eruption. "You're right! Let's go immediately!" the female adventurer with brown hair immediately agreed, fully aware of the peril they faced.
They skillfully maneuvered the Red Floating High-Speed Bike, dodging the incoming flames breaths and assaults launched by the fiery horde. The male adventurer with red hair demonstrated remarkable control over the bike's advanced speed and maneuverability, evading the relentless attacks.
In response, the female adventurer with brown hair unleashed her precision and finesse, hurling ancient freeze bombs at the child dragons to slow them down and keep them at bay. Her calculated strikes were aimed at protecting her partner and ensuring their escape from this dire situation.
Yet, the unyielding swarm of child dragons threatened to overwhelm them. "How can there be so many? Their numbers are too much!" exclaimed the male adventurer with red hair in desperation. The female adventurer with brown hair, though focused on the battle, replied with urgency, "Now is not the time to complain! Let's make our way toward Noah and send a detailed report to the Goddess Apostle immediately!" In the midst of danger, she understood the vital importance of this information.
With newfound determination, the female adventurer with brown hair quickly accessed the route data and Noah's current position. She relayed the information to her companion as they steered the Red Floating High-Speed Bike toward Noah. Fortunately, the horde of child dragons that had pursued them turned back, returning to the depths of the grand volcano.
As they made their escape, the weight of their encounter settled upon them. The two adventurers knew that this encounter with the 10th colossal biomachine monster and its horde was just the beginning of a new, daunting chapter in their journey. With resolute hearts, they vowed to do whatever it took to protect their beloved kingdom, aid Princess Christina, and uncover the secrets of the colossal biomachine monster threatening their world.
